Shakti Foundation for Disadvantaged Women

Founded 1992 by Dr Humaira Islam, who remains Founder and Executive Director. Official site states 6,04,757 micro entrepreneurs and 36 districts covered; a Devex/secondary figure of ~5.46 lakh members across 57 districts conflicts, so the official site figures are used. The branch counter on the homepage showed a template placeholder, so branch_count left null. EBL syndicated Tk 300 crore loan closed Oct 2023, which is outside the ~24-month recent-activity window, so recent_activity is null.
